MomTalk with Christy Conner of The Nesting Life
07/30/22 • 67 min
Welcome to Season 3 of the FASD Family Life Podcast. I am your host, Robbie Seale. I am an FASD educator, advocate and mom of five incredible people; including three teens diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. If my 30 years of parenting has taught me anything it is that the struggle is real and so is success.
This third season of the FASD Family Life podcast is a lot of fun. It's called MomTalk. I invited other mom's raising children and youth with FASD to join me for a coffee and a chat about real life, real struggles and real successes. It is my hope that by listening to our conversations you have the sense that you are not alone; we all get things wrong and we find out that when we know better we can do better.
